D&D General Is there a Duck humanoid species in dungeons and dragons?

[Mecheon]

Yeah, Runequest beat D&D to the punch so I'm not aware of any duck people that are D&D original

There is however the Gyerian from back in the Creature Catalog, who were chicken people. And that's close enough for some.

The Mallard has made its way into Dragonbane courtesy of its descent from Drakar och Demoner, which grew out of a Glorantha-inspired BRP game grown in Sweden.

Humblewood pretty much says that you can reflavor certain bird races as a Duck. So there ya go!

 

[Dioltach]

As long they have a bonus to Reflex saves. Something called "Dodge" or, I don't know ... "Duck"?

Also, they'd fit right in the art style from early AD&D where no-one wore trousers.

Duck Dodgers? …But only if they’re in the 23 1/2 Century…

Because that's how you make it legally distinct from the original, which was set a century later.

It’s the nuTSR version

(Thanks for keeping me straight, @Alzrius )

On topic, I agree with using the Humblewood version!

And the new/old Swedish Rpg has a duck race.

 

[Oofta]

This idea is just daffy, I guess you could give the Ardlings from the playtest a gander. Not sure they'd be all their quacked up to be. But I'll just duck out of this conversation now.

That was fowl, Oofta!
